WORSE THAN SMALLPOX.
A Great Danger which Meaaces an Unsu!

/ P1ci0u6 HuOItcs
The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives,
in London, repo is that over fifty peope
out every hundred consu NJ tives, are victims
of constipatsl or inactive k dneys.
Consumption Is one of our rational dl5
eases, and the above report goes to prove
what has often been said in orr columns dur
ing the last eight years, that kidney troubles
are not only the cause of more than halt the
cases of consumption, but Of ninety out or
every hundred other common di:eases. They
who have taken this POSITION, ma lie Their
claims after an elaborate investigation. AMI
their proof that they have discovered a sTe-
cific for the terrible an ST -althy kidney dis
eases, which nave become 50 prevalent
among us. is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them n
fresh supply OF their wonderful advertising.
They have challenged the medi"al profession
and science to investigate. They have in
v~estigatel, and those who are frank have
admitted the truth of their statements.
They claim that ninety per cent. OF diseases
come originally from Inactive kidneys; that
these inactive kidneys allow the biol to be-
cone filled with uric acid poison: that this
uric aid poison in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
system within twenty-four hours to kill half
q dozen men.
This being q SC 'entific fact, it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the elfe>t inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
If this pos IN Is not removed, it ru ms every
organ. If th~e~boweis, stolach or liver be-
colne inactive, we know it at once, but 9th II
organs help them out. If III, kidneys become
constipate ] aud dormant, the warning comes
later on, and often when it is too late, be-
Gauss the effects are remote from the kidneys
and those or anS are not suspected to be out
Of order.
Organs that gre weak and diseased are I'M
able to resist the attacks of this poison, and
the disease often takes the form of and is
treated as a 10 al atfiiction, when in reality
the real cause of the trouble was inactive

The same quantity of blood that passes

is able to maintain the natural activity of the

1t only requires q article of smallpox
virus to rr3du e that vile disease, and the
poisonous mater from the kidneys, laSsing
all through the system and becoming lodged
at different weak points, is equally deStruc-
tive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood passing
through them goes to the heart and lungs and
other Tarts of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it, all would believe with
out hesitation what has SO often been stated
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs in the
body. .
They may regard this article as an adyer'
tisem mt and refuse to believe it, but that Is
a matter over which we have no control.
Careful investigation and science itself are
proving beyond q doubt that this organ is,
in fact, more important than any oth-r IL
the system as a health regulator, AMI as su"h
should be closely wat he'd for the least sign
of disordered action.
